"Messaging" bug

Hi! I'm seeing this problem for a couple of times now and it has started since my X1 was new!
When a new msg comes in, i click on it and read it from the pre installed messaging app, then when I close it by pressing ok, Nothing happens!! And when I press the windows button and goto today, it still shows the new message icon! Even though I have already read it. Then the only way I can close the "messaging" app, is by going to the task bar. But even then it would still show as a new message! Final solution is to soft reset it!
Any thing I can do about this? I have seen this has happened a couple of times to me even before I upgraded my ROM from SE and performed a hard reset. And the problem still continues. Its so frustrating.
Click on the message, press ON the received message, make sure it is no longer in bold, then press OK at the top.
Buddy, thats what I jst told: It wouldn't do it. All of a sudden, when a message comes in, I read it and then click on ok, it just stays there doing nothing. I click on options and close and still nothing happens. Then I click on windows and "Today" and the message is still displayed as unread. Then I am just left with softreset and it comes back to normal.
You have ensured that the message is no longer in bold text, yes?
That is what this is all about. It doesn't say unread after I have read it. It remains in bold. What should I do?
What ROM are you using?

Click on the message in question (click on the bold text) until it turns normal.
if you are using threaded messaging (which should be the case),
you need to open the thread, and make sure you scroll over each message.
i noticed that issue happens when you have an earlier message which did not specifically have focus onto and stays bold ...
so the unread icon remains on the task bar.
so, be sure to go thru all the messages which are bold, in the thread.
this should safely solve the issue. (works for me since other WinMo phones...)
generally a windows 'bug', more than an Xperia bug.
N1T15H/.
I am using default ROM. Upgraded it with SEUS. No custom rom.
Press the sender's name located next to messages with the unopened letter icon.
there is a solution

Hi everyone,
i ve been gone through the same problem but not entirely similar. My problem aroused when i have installed r3a rom from genuine SE official site using update software. in my mobile it is showing that i have one message waiting to be read but when i click messages, to my astronishing it is empty, yet it is showing that i have a message. i tried many remedies but to no veil. Then as a final step i have to hard reset my device and believe me it is gone now. Everything is alright now. In this regard, i recommend once you hard reset your mobile and by gods will you will see the problem is vanished. Thankq

New bugs or design inconsistencies,need to be tested and solution needed if possible

Hi,after I search through the forum,I realised that there are no thread here is regarding the problem I have discovered and experience.So,i hope people here can help me test it out.
the device I using is HTC mozart
1)unable to play/pause the music on lockscreen,but able to skip song or jump back to the previous one.
-to test it,plug in your headphone to the device and play any song you want,then off the screen.Now,try to adjust the volume(up or down),then press the power button to wake the screen.After that,try to pause the song from the drop down menu.
-another situation,just try to start any music from the drop down menu.Adjsut the volume on the lockscreen and then hit PLAY button.see whether it is working.
2)Marketplace won't check for updates until i connect my device to the pc and open zune software.
-I have totally no idea why this could happen.I left my phone connected to WIFI and opening the marketplace for about 10minutes,no update has found.However,when I connected to the PC and Zune software.The live tile has indicates that I have 9 updates available.
3)after you deleted a contact from people hub,it'll jump to the very bottom of the list.
Thanks hope people here can test it out and maybe provide the solutions.

Like stated in my signature: HTC HD7
1. No problem here
2. No problem here, market check for update automatically through Celluar data
3. Created a new user called "Test user", then deleted, did not go to bottom, so no problem here
Samsung Focus, updated with the VPN method.
no problems for any of those things on my tmous hd7.
1. use lockscreen music controls everyday in the car listening to podcasts
2. just got 1 update yesterday (facebook), and 2 the day before
3. created a tester contact, deleted just fine.
Might be a hard reset in your future.

[Q] Default Messenger App Randomly Opens

Hi,
So I got an HTC One M8 when it first came out, loved it right from the start. However, since the start, I've been having various software issues. The gesture controls never really worked for me, the on board music player app never really worked for me either (to be fair, I think that's because my SD card is dying)...however, the biggest annoyance I've been having is that the default text messenger app randomly opens.
By that I mean, I can be doing something on my home screen, tapping away in an area that has nothing to do with where my messenger app is, and all of a sudden I'll be in my last text conversation.
I have sent my phone out for repair once and they re-flashed it. The problem persists after that.
Any suggestions?

Does it do that with just the messenger? I mean... The area on the phone where the messenger app is, have you noticed at all while in another program or something that that area gets "tapped". If not then we can probably exclude a hardware related issue kinda like a "stuck button" on the touch pad.

Tried that, just a moment ago. Moved my messenger app over along the bottom and put a browser in the spot the messenger app was. However, now my phone is randomly launching the Car app.

better yet check to see if it "draws" on the line test.
*#*#3424#*#* It should give you a screen with "HTC Function Test" at the top, press accept, select Line Drawing test and press on Run. Touch the screen once and wait for it to tell you to start drawing, just leave it then and see if it makes marks on the screen or not.
Just to check if maybe it's an issue with touch pad.

Did that, the line appeared on the screen as I drew.
I feel I should mention that the car app is now randomly launching even when I press the home button.

Yeah but I didn't want you to draw anything, I wanted you to check if it draws on its own.

It might be a hardware problem then I don't think there's much that we can do on this side. I find it funny and odd that the service center you took it too didn't run these kinds of tests themselves and just instead decided to "reflash" (If they even did that).
Hopefully though the problem is software related somehow and perhaps a complete restore would fix it, but we'll see.

Have you got any mods going? Xposed for example? Something might be on like swipe up/down/left/right to launch an app etc. Must be something like that or it wouldn't only do it on the home screen.

No mods, Only thing in terms of swipe commands I have running are the default HTC Gesture commands which launch things like the camera. They don't open any of the apps that have been acting up.

[Q] How to get hidden pictures off from stock rom.

So my buddy still has his Galaxy S3 and yesterday things took a turn for the worst and now the display is destroyed. He says it just shows green but it still plays sounds and vibrates when he gets a call or any notifications. So he wants to get his pictures off of his phone but he said he hid a few of them by creating a new album, placing the pictures in the album, and pressing the hide button. Where would these pictures be stored at and is there anyway to make them viewable again? I don't have the phone with me right now and he can't give it to me because we live fairly far away so I just have to tell him what to do even though he is not very tech savvy.

Plug it into a computer with USB, and hope he had it set to MTP or PTP and not fast charge because with a busted screen I can't think of any way to change that setting.
Open up a file explorer on the computer and start looking around for the pictures and copy them from the damaged phone to the computer when you find them. I don't know exactly where the pictures will be located, but if the phone was on Jellybean or above it is a pretty safe bet they'll be in a subfolder of /data/media/0. /data/media/0/DCIM is where all the funny cat pictures he took himself will be. /data/media/0/Pictures or /data/media/0/NameOfAppTheyCameFrom could be some other likely candidates for where those files got saved. Just poke around, unless he had a tremendous number of apps installed there should be all that many directories to look through.
I don't think the fact that he hid them with a gallery app will keep them from showing up in a PC file explorer. Hiding them with gallery probably just dropped a .nomedia file in the folder so media scanner skips them or something else along those lines that won't actually hide them from a file manager; unless he did something a little more stealthy/techie to keep them hidden.

LG K10 settings issue running android 6.0.1

My LG K10 every once in a while will start making intermittent sounds similar to the old "Pong" game. There are no text messages or window or alerts that pop up when this happens, it seems to happen randomly and sometimes the sounds come through in rapid fire succession if I am driving around town. It tends to wear down my battery faster whenever this occurs. I check to see if any functions are active by hitting the square at the lower right corner of the screen and nothing shows as running.
Also when this happens a volume setting bar shows up as a pop up at the top of the screen, if I try to mute it, it does not allow me to. If I move the slider bar all the way to the left to kill the volume, the next pong sound moves the bar over to full volume. When this occurs I have zero control of the audio output volume of my phone.
This is extremely annoying and I am about to smash this phone into a thousand pieces. Questions, is this the result of a virus? Or is this the result of someone else taking control of my phone? Is this some kind of "feature" of which I am supposed to be thankful? Is there any way on this planet to put an end to this hyper annoying BS?
This is my first Android phone, I was an iPhone user previously. I am seriously considering getting rid of this and going back to iPhone. Please help.

Yes tried admin, there are no admins other than Android Device Manager.
I have not added any apps since I bought the phone.
To me it sounds like half functional malware. Did you bought new phone from shop, or used one from someone else? However the best way of solving would be to flash stock firmware, you have tutorial for that on this forum.

I bought the phone from the T-Mobile store as a brand new phone and have not installed any apps. I assume that flashing the FW means I'll have to backup all my contacts, correct?
And thank you all for your answers I appreciate it.

Well you can backup them just in case. But they should be synced with Google so they will appear on phone once you login with Gmail account.

Yes you can, but first you will have to make backup file on phone, or you can backup contact with some LG PC software. Also you can backup to Dropbox/mega/drive via share option from contacts. Let me know did you solved problem via flashing stock firmware.
